Not so much that, it just seems like a lot of the big vfx vray users just do a second scene for passes that don't need the materials and lighting of the main scene so they can use lower anti aliasing and also save in 32 bit without making huge exr files!

Yep, even easier if you have a render pass system.

For the 16bit 32bit thing you don't need a separate render though, you can define the bit depth for each render element separately in max. Requires some scripting and you can't render with the Vray VFB though.

I'll add that to the long list of things that you've shown me

I'm off in maya land for a few months so lots of new little quirks to work through. How are they treating you in stuttgart?

[Rens]

Maya, nice! I always enjoy working with that.

Stuttgart is going well, changed company a couple of months ago, so far so good, hehe. How is Dublin?
